Looking for a guinea pig in AZ to make a custom header

I'm looking for some in the Phoenix or surronding area who would be interested in a custom header. I know their are a few quality headers available on the market, but I'd like to try my hand at one. The shop is located near the 75th and 101, NW corner of the valley. Prototype Price will be $500 installed. I will also need the car for atleast 1 week. If anyone is interested please shoot me a PM, and I will give you my contact info.

Here are a few pictures of some other parts we have made in the past: ka24De turbo manifold, 2nd Gen Rx-7 Non-Turbo Header, 2nd and 3rd Gen Single Turbo Manifolds...

Are you promising some gains with this header that you are building.

sorry to be so late on this.. some are having poblems with the greddy exhaust manafolds failing....

or you might drop an email to scott at mazsport and get a right sized turbo with a well designed manifold..

i think a turbo header will make money as a na header has proven to do little.

I stopped by the shop yesterday and the headers he builds just look awesome.
I couldn't afford the cost and since my 8 is NA I probally wouldn't see much diffrence.

Also no hondas in his shop.
